Exporting across versions was why I tried webhdfs. I have a cluster running
HBase 0.94 and wanted to export a
table to a different cluster running HBase 0.96. I got the export to work, but
attempting to
do a restore_snapshot results in:
TableInfoMissingException: No table descriptor file
so I assume snapshot are not compatible between versions. Is there any way to
copy the
table from the old cluster to the new one?
